Hypnotic, pitiless and told brilliantly

An outrageously suspenseful apocalyptic comedy of horrors...with acid clarity...Fight Club only achieves something only terrifying books do - it tells us: this is how we live now. Maybe our generation has finally found its Don DeLillo

Like a noxious Doug Coupland, Palahiuk charts new-felt and totally contemporary categories of despair

An immensely skillful writer

Short, sharp and savage, this haunting and strikingly original American urban nightmare is the most impressive US fiction début I can remember in years

Another great exhilaration from Eco. Eye-poppingly fascinating

Perhaps the most intellectual novelist in Europe today. A highly idiosyncratic by engrossing novel

Profound and moving. A wonderful entertainer

Engaging

The opening is delightful, the sort of stuff that has readers rubbing their hands in anticipation...it is good to see Eco recapture something of his former glories, bouncing ideas of his readers with characteristic zest

Stimulating
